Chapter 425: Classmates
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The Gu family had been busy since early in the morning. They had cleaned everything inside and out.
Even Zeng Jia, Zeng Yue, and Zeng Le from the Zeng family next door ran over to help. Although Yunshu went to school in the county city, he still played with his good friends every day after school.
Especially since the three Zeng siblings did not have the chance to read and write, Yunshu would teach them every day when he came back.
Now that they had learned a lot of words, Madam Dong was overjoyed. She wanted to work harder and earn more money. Perhaps she could send her children to school.
She did not think of asking them to take the Elementary Scholar examination to become a high official. She just felt that it was always good for children to be able to read.
Didn’t everybody see that even the servants of the Gu family were learning? Tong An was the best and fastest at learning, so he became the manager of the workshop.
It could be seen that being literate would definitely be more promising than being illiterate in the future.
As Gu Yunshu’s friends, they naturally had to come and help him on his birthday.
Gu Yundong was also very happy. Early in the morning, she followed Father Tong to send the two children to school. Then, she personally went to the market to buy groceries.
Yunshu only had sixteen classmates in total. Gu Yundong had thought about finding more carriages to transport them.
However, she was rejected. Which of the classmates did not have a carriage? Liu Yi asked his coachman to stop the carriage at the school gate and wait for everyone to finish school.
Two carriages were indeed enough. All of them were little kids and were not big.
Gu Yundong swept through the county before returning with half a carriage full of things in satisfaction.
She had asked Yunshu what he wanted to eat for his birthday. The little guy happily said that he wanted to eat longevity noodles and boiled eggs.
Gu Yundong’s heart ached when she heard that. These were very ordinary things, but Gu Yunshu had never eaten them during his birthday before, so he was concerned.
Gu Yundong did not ask him anything else. She had already drawn up a recipe in her heart.
She knew how to make cakes, but there were too many people. She might have to make two big cakes.
For this reason, she had asked around two days in advance to find out where cows could produce milk.
When she got home, she pulled Shao Qingyuan over as a coolie and handed him a big bowl of egg whites and white sugar. She smiled and said, “It’s time to test your hand speed. Stir it until it turns into white cream.”
Shao Qingyuan was a little stunned. Cream… What was that?
But whatever Gu Yundong asked him to do, he would do it. It was only when the egg white slowly turned into a white cotton-like shape that Shao Qingyuan was shocked.
It turned out that after stirring the egg whites for 15 minutes, it would become like this.
His eyes gradually lit up as he looked at Gu Yundong. He felt that she would surprise him from time to time.
The Gu family was busy. When the school knew that Gu Yunshu was going to invite everyone to his house for his birthday celeration, Qin Wenzheng simply let them leave school two hours early.
Seeing the students get into the carriage one by one, Qin Wenzheng actually had the urge to follow them.
However, he thought that he was their teacher and would make these students uncomfortable if he went, so he dismissed the idea. After all, he still had to protect his image. When he faced Gu Yundong, he was easily irritable.
The two carriages entered Yongfu Village one after another.
Everyone had agreed in advance that they could not make a fuss, and they had to remain calm and low-key after entering the village.
However, it was their first time here after all. They still lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside.
Yongfu Village had changed a lot in the past six months, but most of the houses still looked very dilapidated..
